Donald Trump has suggested large numbers of Palestinians should leave Gaza to “just clean out” the whole strip, after ordering the US military to restart shipments of 2,000lb bombs to Israel.
The US president said he wanted Gaza residents to move to neighbouring nations, and that they could be displaced “temporarily or could be long-term”, after a phone call with Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday.
“I said to him: I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people,” Trump said, when asked about the call.
He also suggested Egypt as a destination for Gaza residents, and said he would raise the issue with President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Sunday.
Damn that’s crazy. What do you want bro to do about it? You want 'em to overthrow the american government?
If you had to pick between John Doe with a knife, Jim Doe with 2000lbs of explosives, or to have no say in the matter, which would you pick?
I really don’t understand why I need to explain this to you, but if there are only two options, the less bad one is the better option.
Right? It’s like the
“Oh well if you stop mass murderers from having guns, aren’t they just gonna use knives instead”
To that I say “Unless you’re Simon Belmont slaughtering waves of Dracula’s minions, I don’t think you’re gonna get anywhere near as high of a body count throwing knives at people.”
Very much enjoy the nerd culture references
